RENO, Nev. — The Reno Bighorns have been assigned Royce White after the 6-8 forward signed a 10-day contract with the Sacramento Kings on Thursday.

White was originally selected by the Houston Rockets in the first round (16th overall) of the 2012 NBA Draft. He averaged 11.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 25.5 minutes per game in 16 contests with Houston’s D-League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

The Rockets traded White to the Philadelphia 76ers last July, in exchange for future draft considerations. White was waived by the 76ers on October 25.

White will be available to play at the Bighorns' next home game on Friday.Bighorns assigned Royce White from Kings
